The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said in a new report released on Sunday that despite well-developed global environmental governance, science-policy activity has to move toward supporting implementation of international environmental agreements in countries and regions.

"The achievement of the international agreements will require the cooperation of multitude decision-makers with divergent primary priorities, scientists from a wide-range," Pierre Boileau http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/chris-bosh-jersey/ , head of the Global Assessment Unit at UNEP, said during the launch of the report in Nairobi.

Boileau said science-policy organizations require dedicated change processes to their governance models to have impact in the future, including providing information for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

"Achieving the SDGs requires scientific advice on complex interactions between goals achievement, which are dynamic, non-linear and uncertain http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/greg-oden-jersey/ ," he said, adding that it is pointless to produce complex reports that produce uncertain outcomes.

The UNEP official suggested that it is crucial that gender mainstreaming is adopted in all science-policy activities, and failure of which might lead to policies that aggravate the existing unintended consequences that further intensify inequality.

The report says improved outcomes come from engaging policy-makers who hold significantly divergent viewpoints on the importance of the environment, but whose decisions influence environmental outcomes.

"The last 40 years have seen a significant expansion of scientific research into environmental challenges and their drivers, international environmental governance structures and international science-policy work on environmental issues http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/derrick-williams-jersey/ , but the growth of this work has not been matched by a slowdown in environmental degradation," it says.

The UN report calls for the incorporation of societal and cultural issues into scientific and technological research.

UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim said that science and policy are at a crossroads and need effective governance to promote better interaction.

"There is growing evidence that sound science can play an important role in creating the political will to shape policies that can deliver the SDGs," Solheim said.

He noted that with the growing momentum for change, international scientific experts have to realign their work to be more useful for policy-makers through the involvement of non-state actors.

The report highlights the importance of making high-quality scientific data easily available to the right people, such as access to air quality data showing tangible threats to human health.

UNITED NATIONS http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/danny-granger-jersey/ , Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- The UN envoy for the MiddleEast peace process on Friday told the Security Council that he wasconcerned about violence escalation in the region after U.S.President Donald Trump said the United States formally recognizedJerusalem as Israel's capital.

The UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process,Nickolay Mladenov, told an emergency session of the SecurityCouncil on Jerusalem that clashes in the West Bank, Gaza andJerusalem were unfolding after Trump's announcement.

Mladenov urged political, religious and community leaders torefrain from rhetoric that might encourage further escalation. "Itwill be ordinary Israelis and Palestinians who will have to livewith the violence http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/ray-allen-jersey/ ," he said via video conference.

"There is a serious risk today that we may see a chain ofunilateral actions, which can only push us further away fromachieving our shared goal of peace," Mladenov said.

Mladenov noted that "of all the final status issues in theIsraeli-Palestinian conflict as identified in the Oslo Accords --refugees, settlements, security http://www.cheapnbajerseysheat.com/lebron-james-jersey/ , borders, etc -- the status ofJerusalem is perhaps the most emotionally charged and difficultissue."

He said that it's up to Israeli and Palestinian leaders, withthe international community's support, to reach an agreement thatwould end the occupation.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Wednesday that he was"against any unilateral measures that would jeopardize the prospectof peace for Israelis and Palestinians."
